And thus we begin week four--is everyone getting excited about the upcoming book? I hope this vampish journey is getting everyone in the mood for Alec!
Standard disclaimer follows.
Spoiler warning: there will be many discussions of plot points and characters below, so if you haven't read this...

As I mentioned in a Twitter this morning, I had one of those annoying insomnia nights last night, the kind where you toss and turn in bed unable to get to sleep, only to stagger out and end up watching Blackadder videos until the wee small hours of the morning. In my case, it was until 3am, an hour...

A little late today because…um…well, OK, I don’t have a really good excuse. I did tackle the reader request stack today, and beat it down to the point where I’m at letters postmarked approximately January 9th of this year, which is a minor miracle, frankly.
Because I’ve been avoiding the e-mail...

I present an annotated picture of my desk at this very moment.
Yes, I blurred out the style sheet. Deliberately. I am mean.

I found a couple more foreign covers a few weeks ago, and have neglected to post them. I shall do so now, just because I get a kick out of seeing them (and I really must, must, must add them into my website–I just keep forgetting to do so).

The first cover...

Life has been a little stressful here at Rancho Doghair these last few days, mostly due to my mother-in-law not feeling well, and Mr. Katie having to spend time with her at the hospital. She is home now, however, which is always good news. Also good news: I survived a night alone here at RD,...

OK, I think we all know by now that Katie Is Bad. Yes, I neglected Wednesday's hump question...again. I didn't post anything yesterday. But in my defense, I will say that I've been writing more than my normal wad, and that means this book will get done faster. Yay for a little free time, once it...

Why you people put up with me I’ll never know. I just forgot to do yesterday’s Good News Tuesday, and here it is Wednesday and I’m sure oodles of you are just bursting with fabulous and exciting news. Far be it from me to keep you from sharing it, so feel free to do so.
While I’m waiting, I’ll show...

I saw this on the Wenches’ forum, and laughed so hard at it, I figured it would be perfect for today.
It’s the best first wedding dance ever. Seriously. Just have your sound turned on.

Someone once asked me why I refer to my muse as a person, as in "My muse informed me she did not wish to work today, and that I could just tough it out without her," or "In order to make my muse happy, I am feeding her daily dollops of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice...

It's humpy day again. Funny how these seem to roll around once a week (except when I forget to notice them). Today's Hump Day Question is about social networking and the like. Prompted to hunt down URLS and such by my UK publisher, I dusted off my Shelfari and Twitter accounts, and made them...

Today’s field trip is one that makes me squirm in my seat. And want to go brush my teeth.
Pucker Up
And the following is from a newsletter I just sent out, for those of you (ahem) not on my newsletter list.
KATIECON 2009? MAYBE…
Recently, some of the lovely folk over on the...

There are times when I really would like to have a working brain. One of those times is when it comes to saving chat transcripts, as promised, but since that lovely idea fell flat on its face (who knew the chat room software purged the chats each midnight? Not me, that’s for sure), I’m going to try...

Today's HDQ is brought to you by the hoof pick I found in my purse the other day.
Yes, hoof pick. As in, the thing you use to clean a horse's hoof. I do not own a horse, nor do I go riding. This hoof pick is from my childhood days, and I have absolutely no idea how it got into my purse. I suspect...

It's that day again--Tuesday, when I rip good news from innocent people without regard as to whether or not they happen to want their news spread about.
Yes. Someone is in a bit of a curmudgeonly mood. We'll pass quickly over that and move straight to your good news. You have some, I assume. I...

About Katie
For as long as she can remember, Katie MacAlister has loved reading. Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. Despite her love for novels, she didn't think of writing...
